Dualism and Eschatology Zoroastrianism features a cosmic dualism between the forces of good (led by Ahura Mazda) and evil (led by Angra Mainyu), culminating in an eschatological vision of final judgment, renovation of the world (Frashokereti), and the ultimate triumph of good.
Resurrection Doctrines
Zoroastrian resurrection doctrine entails the future bodily resurrection of the dead at the end of time, followed by a final judgment and purification, leading to eternal life in a renewed, perfect world free from evil.
Influence on Jewish Apocalyptic Literature
Zoroastrian concepts such as dualism, resurrection, final judgment, a messianic savior, and eschatological renovation likely influenced post-exilic Jewish apocalyptic literature, including ideas in texts like the Book of Daniel and intertestamental works.
